Malcolm Glazer has a tentative deal to buy the Dodgers and Dodger Stadium from News Corp., reports Reuters and CBS Sportsline. The price is said to be between $400 and $450 million. The deal still needs approval from baseball owners and the NFL, whose Tampa Bay team Glazer owns. I'm not sorry that the winner isn't Alan Casden, who wanted to demolish the stadium and move it downtown, but Jeff Smulyan might have been interesting. Not just because of the Los Angeles Magazine connection (he owns it through Emmis Communications), but think of the synergy potential with Emmis' hottest asset here: Big Boy at Power 106 (KPWR).
